Operate in Cellular Mode

To operate as a cellular base station, this parameter should be enabled.
Note: The 9500 Network Controller must also be set to cellular mode.

Poll ID

In Adaptive Polling/Contention protocol for narrow band radios, Poll ID is used to
assign a unique address to each base station. As the terminals move from one base
station to another, this address is transmitted by the base stations to the termin als,
identifying each 9160 G2 in a multiple base station system.

Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout

This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal can be inactive befor e
the 9160 G2 declares it offline. Before this happens, the terminal will be declared
offline by the Percent Polling Protocol Terminal T imeou t parameter (see below).
After the terminal is removed from the system , it will need to re-initialize in order to
communicate with the 9160 G2. This parameter reduces the overhead on the radio
link caused when terminals which are not communicating are supported. The allow-
able values range from 1 to 240.

Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout

This parameter determines the time that a terminal is allowed to be inactive before
the 9160 G2 declares it offline. This time is expressed as a percentage of the Polling
Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter ( see a bove) . For e xample , if the Polling Pro-
